The best new album I've heard in a while is by far "Traced in air" by Cynic. It's sorta metalish, but at the same time kinda chilled, in a beautiful experimental way, it's simply amazing. My favorite song from the album so far:
i guess ill be the first to post some more classic rock in case you missed out
Boston steve miller band the doors the eagles(tons of great unknown songs to chill to) pink floyd(hey you never know) aerosmith(again, tons of great unknown songs) van halen Genesis the scorpions queen

I looked at your charts and here are some artists I think you may like,
American Football (indie/emo) Hot Cross (hardcore punk) Sonic Youth (experimental/noise) Glassjaw (post-hardcore) Kidcrash (math rock) mewithoutYou (indie/post-hardcore) Unwound (indie/noise)
<3 kidcrash. Especially on their EP, by far the best thing they ever recorded although it's kind of rare- I haven't had a date in 4 years goldie hawn
Husker Du's Zen Arcade is kind of like the line between hardcore, classic rock, and post hardcore.
Orchid's self-titled gatefold album is probably the best hardcore of the 2000's. (However, the CD mix is terrible. Find a vinyl rip if you can - not getting into a sound quality debate or anything, the mix is just objectively bad for that style of music). Chaosisme is a bit more popular.
Pageninetynine's Document #8 is Orchid's main competition for that distinction, but if you think of hardcore as "not screaming", then it wouldn't be your thing.
Portraits of Past's 01010101 (from 1994) is the best hardcore album ever made. (Obviously in my opinion - Minor Threat's out of step is close). Same caveat as pg. 99 though.
You might enjoy Elliot's photorecordings, they were one of the first bands to transition the hardcore scene to the more modern 00's emo sound, but they were never the whiny stereotype.

Yep their EP is definitely my favorite as well, but can't you just download it free off their website?
Minus The Bear are amazing, from that I can recommend a few:
The Most Serene Republic Q and Not U (more fun hardcore, they split up but left 3 awesome CDs) Thunderbirds are Now! The Applessed Cast (more post-rock style indie, really good, Two Converstations is an album I definitely recommend)
